The growing number of women requesting interval sterilization (apart from term delivery or abortion procedures) necessitates the re-evaluation of traditional surgical procedures. A total of 800 women--the first 400 women undergoing culdoscopic and laparoscopic tubal sterilization procedures at Siriraj Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand--evaluate the appropriateness of the two sterilization procedures for use in interval sterilization programs. No serious operative complications occurred in either group. However, the rate of postoperative complications was considerably higher for the culdoscopic group than for the laparoscopic group. Hospitalization was required for only a small percentage of the patients and most had resumed their normal activities within two days of the operation. This study indicates that both procedures are effective and may be safely performed on an outpatient basis without general anesthetics and with minimal discomfort for the patients.
